Diamond mining involves the extraction of diamonds of varying carats through processes that combine art, science, engineering, and extensive labor. There are three methods employed in diamond mining, pipe mining, alluvial mining, and marine mining.
The main categories of diamonds are designated for jewelry making and industrial applications. Jewelry making pertains to ornamental pieces such as rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, crafted from materials that may or may not be precious (such as gold, silver, glass, and plastic), set with genuine or imitation gems, and worn for personal adornment. The grades of diamonds include gem grade and industrial grade. Various mining methods encompass both underground mining and surface mining.

The diamond market is experiencing growth due to the rising populations in developing countries like China and India, driven by increasing disposable incomes, heightened demand, and improved access to credit. Disposable income refers to the amount of money that individuals or households have available to spend or save after income taxes have been deducted. Marine mining, which involves extracting diamonds from offshore placer deposits, is one method used in the industry. For example, in February 2024, Diamondrensu, an India-based company specializing in diamond-related products, reported that total global diamond investments increased to $18 million in 2023, up from $15.2 million in 2022, indicating a significant rise in investment. Thus, the growth in disposable income is a key factor driving the expansion of the diamond market.
Anticipated expansion in the diamond market is also linked to the burgeoning e-commerce and online retailing sector. E-commerce, involving the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet, provides diamond retailers with a global reach, offering customers a convenient shopping experience, easy comparison, customization options, secure transactions, access to reviews and ratings, and clear return policies. According to census.gov, retail trade sales increased by 0.6% from July 2023, and e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2023 witnessed a notable 7.5% increase when compared to the same period in 2022. A significant share of 15.4% of all sales in the second quarter of 2023 occurred through online stores, emphasizing the substantial impact of the e-commerce sector on the diamond market.
Major companies in the diamond market are increasingly focusing on advanced diamond sourcing technologies, including blockchain, to secure a competitive edge. Blockchain technology offers a secure and unchangeable method for tracking the provenance of diamonds from their source to sale. For example, in May 2022, De Beers Group, a UK-based company specializing in the diamond industry, launched the Tracr blockchain platform to improve its diamond production processes. This platform is unique as it is the only distributed diamond blockchain that originates from the source, providing tamper-proof assurances of provenance at scale. It enables stakeholders to maintain an unalterable record of a diamond's origin, instilling confidence in jewelry retailers regarding their purchases. As consumers increasingly demand transparency about product origins, Tracr ensures reliable information about De Beers' diamonds throughout the value chain, offering source assurance for all their products.
Major players in the diamond market are innovating by introducing new products such as lab-grown diamonds to stay competitive. Lab-grown diamonds, created in a laboratory setting rather than through natural geological processes, offer an alternative to mined diamonds. In August 2023, Pandora A/S, a Denmark-based jewelry manufacturer, launched collections named Pandora Nova, Pandora Era, and Pandora Talisman featuring lab-grown diamonds set in sterling silver or 14k white or yellow gold. These lab-grown diamonds possess qualities identical to mined diamonds in terms of color, cut, clarity, and carat. The introduction of these collections aligns with Pandora's goal of democratizing diamonds through ethically and environmentally responsible practices, offering reasonably priced, high-quality jewelry with minimal environmental impact.
